I used to be proud of our military and it’s technology.
I don’t know about everyone else, but these days, when I read about a new military innovation, the first thought that comes to me is something along the lines of “What happens if the government decides we’re the enemy and turns those weapons on us?”
When the definition of “terrorist” can be expanded to include granparents demonstrating at TEA party gatherings, how long do you think it will take for the definition of “pirate” to be expanded to include anyone with a boat who doesn’t tow the statist line?
“What happens if the government decides we’re the enemy and turns those weapons on us?”
That decision has already been made. The weapons are at the ready.
